The community has signed a natural gas aggregation agreement with AEP Energy at a rate of $0.5378 per ccf (17% lower than the current rate!) starting with the November 2026 bill and continuing through the October 2027 bill. This fixed aggregation rate is an alternative to Duke’s variable rate. Letters will be mailed to eligible accounts (see details below) starting late August and continuing through early-September.
